what i need to know
i know i have an rvr diff and was told it wont work or to consider buying an evo rear diff i was wondering could i use the mechanical diff as i dont want an ayc controlled diff
also will the diff hanger and stuff from the original evo 6 i have bolt onto that diff
also will the floorpan from the evo 4 weld straight onto a mirage coupe someone on here has that conversion began and would love to do this in ireland the guy is from indianpollis in us..
i would also love to get the evo 8 front so car will look so cool
i really want the 4wd setup as i need it and all help is appriciated no flamming thanks

 

not sure if they sold them in ireland, but i wound try get a lancer GSR diff, no ayc, not sure if it will fit but they are small and compact.

Good luck with the build and keep us posted

 

yeah we have a few lancer gsr up her for parting might look into getting that the rvr diff looks very close to the evo 5rs diff diffrence is it has a bolt to hold the driveshaft ill try get some pics but i have some on facebook already

 

if you get a 4g64 crank, you have a 2.3 stroker...

 

easier to do with the cm5a rear suspension saves a lot of cutting /drilling spot welds and welding , but you still need to remove the existing rear bottom arm mount bracket to weld in the diff mount . one propshaft mount bracket has to be welded in , the other is there already but needs two bolts welded in . im not sure about the spare wheel well in the mirage but in a colt it has to be modified for the diff mount to be welded in. rob in mitsi- pieces usually has plenty of gsr bits . where in ireland are you ?? ive an 4wd evo colt here if you want to look at it get an idea whats in store for ya

 

Thanks for the reply Todd well am from south of Dublin seen your black evo colt that was an inspiration for doing this conversion except into a mirage well I was planning to collect some mivec colt there but the guy never picked up his phone so might stick to the mirage now and yeah I haven't got any welding skill so won't be thinking that rear sections for me ..where abouts are u from would like to see the colt and how it was done

 

Im down in wexford just outside the town your welcome anytime

 

Yeah sounds cool wexford is bout an hour damn long journey or may I ask for it number just i'n case I need ur help on that rear section mwahaha
